Astrological Market and International Tendencies Outlook – LATE JUNE/JULY 2025
By Barry Rosen
Nervousness is surging, fueled by escalating international tensions—riots surrounding ICE, the Iran–Israel battle, and the flare-up with Russia and missile assaults. Sadly, I don’t count on a big calming of those energies anytime quickly. Retrograde Saturn, turning extra intense after July 12, will probably amplify struggling and unease into November.
Mars is shifting towards a risky conjunction with Ketu, precise on July 21. On the similar time, Rahu—one other signature for nervousness—may be very sturdy in his personal signal of Aquarius, rising instability. This alignment shouldn’t be calming international nerves.
A number of panic-inducing cycles are unfolding into early August. Mars will oppose Saturn from Virgo to Pisces round August 8, then oppose Neptune on August 9, and trines Pluto on August 10. That weekend appears like one other climax window, echoing the shock assault dynamics seen through the current Iran strikes underneath a quincunx-heavy sky. Will Venus conjunct Jupiter on August 12 lastly supply a window of peace and reduction? We are able to solely hope.
The Inventory Market Puzzle
The important thing query: when will the inventory market lastly drop? Regardless of the Iran bombing, timed completely with Mars/Saturn and Mars/Neptune quincunxes, the market has not triggered a full promote sign. Just a few astrological clues clarify this false sense of stability and extra to return in coming weeks:
- Jupiter combustion, peaking June 24 and lingering till July 9, typically breeds false optimism.
- The Solar will Punarvasu Nakshatra (Gemini 20°–Most cancers 3°20′) from July 6–19, one other optimistic interval.
- Jupiter will likely be debilitated within the D9 chart till July 11—once more, suggesting false confidence.
If the S&P 500 (money) doesn’t fall to not less than 5890 by June 26, we may see one other rally into the week of July 7–10, doubtlessly reaching 6100. The Nasdaq 100 futures may attain 22,600. Venus in Taurus (June 29–July 25) typically helps monetary optimism—let’s see if it helps.
Regardless of international chaos—Iran firing on a U.S. navy base, rising tensions with China and Russia—the markets proceed to carry up. As soon as once more, astrology reminds us that information and market habits will not be at all times correlated.
The Mars/Ketu conjunction is already displaying its warmth, mirrored in rising social unrest. That side tightens between July 13–August 1, a interval the place Mars and Ketu are inside 5 levels of each other. Count on continued unrest and elevated Center East tensions.
Jupiter in Gemini and Sector Outlook
Jupiter moved into Gemini on Could 14 and stays there till October, earlier than a short six-week transit via Most cancers. Whereas Gemini is one signal away from Jupiter’s exaltation, it nonetheless gives extra energy than Virgo. Count on power in Gemini-related sectors: communications, media, publishing, web, and training.
Jupiter’s features to Libra and Aquarius will uplift sectors tied to know-how, biotech, and AI. Rahu, having entered Aquarius in late Could, provides gasoline to those oversold sectors and encourages speculative curiosity.
Half 2: Sector Outlook Continued
Crude Oil and Power
Crude oil surged on the Iran/Israel battle, peaking at 7800 earlier than pulling again after the Israeli nuclear website bombing. Even after Iran attacked a U.S. base in Qatar on June 23, costs dipped. Warfare markets defy logic. Nonetheless, this rally isn’t over—we’re eyeing 8400 into July.
Iran’s risk to dam the Strait of Hormuz (via which 20% of world oil shipments cross) is a bullish sign.
Longer-term: We’re expecting potential highs at 103.00 and even 108.00 within the coming months. Historic precedent: Rahu in Aquarius from 2006–2009 noticed oil costs triple. You possibly can commerce this development through ETFs like USO and XLE, although they’re at present overbought.
Curiosity Charges
Trump is pushing for fee cuts, however Powell and the FOMC might resist. Regardless of the Dot Plot suggesting two cuts in 2025, rising oil costs and inflation might not permit that.
Astrologically, rate of interest cycles pointed to a backside in early July—maybe a mirrored image of world flight to security. However the decline hasn’t been sufficient to considerably have an effect on mortgage charges. These ready for ultra-low charges will probably be upset.
We’d have yet one more yr earlier than a significant international monetary reset. Jupiter leaves Gemini on June 1, 2026, ending its protecting side to the U.S. natal chart. Afterward, Saturn-Neptune conjunctions in Pisces may usher in a extra chaotic debt restructuring period.
Metals: Gold and Silver
Gold spiked to 3500 and is at present correcting—typical for late June seasonal habits. Regardless of international missile strikes, gold is falling. Nonetheless, we count on a rally in July. Mars and Ketu in Leo (gold’s signal), adopted by the Solar’s ingress into Leo in August, ought to be bullish.
- Gold help: More likely to maintain 3250 and rally towards 4000 in July.
- Silver (extra Moon/Venus-ruled): May outperform gold in early July as planets transfer into Most cancers. Help at 3150, concentrating on 4000.
A big gold cycle excessive seems in November when Mars enters Sagittarius (Nov. 8)—a traditionally constructive alignment. Lengthy-term: Cycles level to gold reaching 4900 or greater into 2027.

Cryptocurrencies
Bitcoin broke the 100,000 mark, issuing a warning sign with projections towards 92,000 and even 89,000. Nonetheless, a secondary bounce is feasible round July 9–10, with a significant cycle excessive into the August 8–10 panic window.
Longer-term, Bitcoin stays sturdy. The chart initiatives 136,000 on the following leg up, with main highs anticipated in January and June 2026. Fund managers forecast 200,000, although we deal with that cautiously. Jupiter/Rahu cycles stay favorable into 2026.
Reminder: Work along with your dealer. Astrology is a strong timing device however ought to be built-in with technical and basic evaluation. All the time purpose to purchase low and promote excessive.
